All she wanted was an apple.But being told no, she did it anyway. And they were banished from Eden.Now, we’ve bailed out corporate lenders, greedy players who were never told no – but encouraged to select the low-hanging fruit, not matter the consequence.Nobody wanted this.

Thom Gabrukiewicz is both a communicator and a writer of flash fiction. Most of what he writes is kind of dark, with occasional forays into the light.
He’s a winner of some awards and has covered two Winter Olympics. He’s also written a guidebook about hiking with dogs.
He’s fiercely loyal and has a malevolent side that seems to visit less and less. He’s both a hopeless romantic and a realist.
He's currently working on community wellness issues in Wyoming.
